Biola’s English Language Program (ELP) offers a variety of academic English language support options for students who would benefit from growing abilities in rhetorical awareness, working with research, claims development, and revision. The ELP works with the Rhetoric & Writing Center (RWC); however, it is different in that we offer courses that pair lessons in skill acquisition with Core Curriculum content.
